Britney's "Baby" turns 11

If you would like to feel old like me this week, please note that Britney Spears' album, Baby One More Time celebrated its 11th anniversary this week. Since this is one of my favorite pop albums of all time, I had to note the occasion.

Just so you know, Baby One More Time

  • reached #1 in fifteen countries
  • was the biggest selling album worldwide by a teenage artist
  • was the highest selling album by a female pop artist
  • was the highest selling debut album in the US
  • sold more than 25 million copies
  • was available on cassette tape- iTunes didn't exist

I don't care how old this album gets, its got so many good memories for me, I'll be singing it in my car when I'm a grandma. I can hear myself now, "That was real music kids. Ah, the good old 90's!"

My blog post wouldn't be complete without the title track and music video that made Britney a pop icon so here you go. Enjoy!
